Ok, I have EP's ISO up. I'm gonna look at mentions of all living players other than myself (I have no reason to analyze this but if anyone cares 579 was EP's most meaningful mention of me). I'm also only putting limited stock in this because I realize a player's reads are only one of many reasons they can be NK'd.
1.Lil Uzi Vert
-LUV feels incredibly not-scum but IDK if I'm underestimating his scum game, and I might evaluate more closely in the future. We'll say town for now.
-Does anyone with good LUV experience/Shea have a reads justification on him
Bunch of people randomly saying he's town or he's scum without anything discrete i feel
-I'd like to think they're town, have some maybe doubts: LUV (maybe no doubt though?),
-LUV has been incredibly low impact to me as a player
What scum-lil would probably feel
:
Low priority kill, but could be fine. Appears to be townreading me but might change later.
2.Boonskiies
-Boon's response is fine in this context IMO.
-also Boon is another person who should be allowed nowhere near LYLO
-I like Boon's set of posts
-i'm not saying boon is town, I'm just saying I like his reads because his reads are great.
what scum-boon would probably feel
:
He seems to like me for now but could be a threat later. Decent kill
3.Tchill13
-VOTE: Tchill
Shea and others join me on this wagon and we shall ride to great justice
-1) Fact remains that Tchill is still a fine wagon as someone who has had 7 posts to advance the game but has actually done almost nothing.
-I'm not gonna put the whole thing here but post 89 is a bunch of points against tchill <- These are my words, not EP's
-I know its a really stupid thing to be falling for if you're scum, but this deliberation into revote seems pretty transparently towny
-LQ/Lal/Chill I have some concrete reasons to feel are not scum at this point in time
-The only difference I see between Tchill's unjustified vote that resulted in you VI-reading him and LQ's unjustified vote that resulted in you scumreading him, to me, looks like a real reach to find motives that I strongly believe comes from scum a lot less than you think it does
-Some reasons to believe they're town: chill, LQ, egg guy
-acid I think I missed your reasoning on why chill is your top scumread
Actually I'll say two things,
1) I'm worried that my townread on chill is stagnating from some early game interactions,
so 2) anyone who scumreads chill please let me know why so it saves me the trouble of figuring out why myself
What scum-tchill would probably feel
:
Ok, he came after me but I seem to have passed all of his tests. The stagnating read thing stands out but we don't need to kill here.
4.Lalendra
-I'm feeling Lalendra, LQ town. May commit to a short meta-dive on those players in the early game, in the near future
-LQ/Lal/Chill I have some concrete reasons to feel are not scum at this point in time
-Interested in looking closer at lalendra
-Second shea on lalendra here. (Again my words, not EP's after this disclaimer but for context Shea had said he liked something of Lalendra's)
What scum-lalendra would probably feel
:
Ok, not sure why but he town reads me. Not sure what he wants to look into but I want to keep him alive.
5.LicketyQuickety
Uhhhh. This has 38 matches for a search of "LQ" and 7 more for "Lick", but to summarize EP had Lickety as a strong town read and later said Lickety is fine as a lynch if we need to push one through.
What scum-lickety would probably feel
:
Let's not kill this guy. He's actually on my side.
6.acidphoenix
-Was actually thinking of maybe voting him until 148 which was something i summarily agreed with and now I'm slightly more hesitant
-I'd like to think they're town, have some maybe doubts: LUV (maybe no doubt though?), acid
-3) Acid
The whole "spew your alignment" shenanigans makes acid look townier, but I'm still very unsure. The way that acid is approaching this game makes me seem he's very comfortable, which is pretty towny under mild/consistent pressure that I feel like would generally get a scum reaction. Ultimately it's a weak read :<
-acid I think I missed your reasoning on why chill is your top scumread
What scum-acid would probably feel
:
I wish he'd solidify that town read, but so far so good. Possible threat later?
8.schadd_
-schadd-- What I'm reading might just be a facet of his GD posting style. But I am wary of early townreads that seem confident ("LQ/ep townblock"). I think scum easily put forward that (and often do) in early game as a non-harmful way to seem engaged and productive. In the end, that's not really a reason to be scumreading someone.
My words again: There are a couple more mentions but nothing noteworthy.
What scum-schadd would probably feel:
I'm not really on his radar but he doesn't seem to have a favorable opinion of me either. Might be worth killing before he gets around to looking closer.
9.Thestatusquo
(Again there are a bunch of mentions but here are the ones that stand out)
-*lurks harder*
VOTE: Thestatusquo
-You're right conceptually but also being unfair I think.
-*insert quip here*
-Shea, I think your LQ push is questionable.
-while I think that Shea is being perfectly reasonable saying he thinks the same about Mumble as I think about Havo, I also think that he is wrong.
What scum-Shea would probably feel
:
He's not going after me hard or even calling me scum but man this guy doesn't agree with me on anything. Could be a problem later. Decent kill.
12.Havo
-2) Havo's 31 is unnecessarily chip-on-shoulder. Unfortunately I couldn't find any scum games from him, so there's really nothing to look into there (and perhaps there wouldn't be anything to look into even if there were scum games to read). But early Havo ISOs in other games have him being pretty personable. Thoughts, Havo?
-IDK about Havo but I would like an answer to 2) in 69 (it's not that important, but still)
-4) Havo
I would be very okay with a Havo lynch. He's getting frustrated by pressure on him and stagnating his approach to the game around it. Scum does that a lot. Over the past few pages my reads have actually developed closely in the direction of what schadd says in 468 -- acid townier, Havo scummier, and less confident about scumble. In the end I'm actually still okay with a mumble lynch, despite disagreeing a lot of the reasons people are bringing up for scumble, and my Havo read isn't actually strong enough to counter the inertia of my vote just yet.
-Maybe I didn't express myself well enough but I think that LQ and mumble responded to pressure differently (from both each other and from Havo) that I think is quite telling in a way that makes Havo seem more suspicious in my eyes. I have quotes to back this up and while I think that Shea is being perfectly reasonable saying he thinks the same about Mumble as I think about Havo, I also think that he is wrong.
-Post 629 has a bunch against Havo <-my words, not EP's
-In any case-- I think Havo is a better wagon than Mumbles.
What scum-havo would probably feel
:
oh shit.
